''Patel has sent a joint email to staff written with Rutnam’s interim successor Shona Dunn stating they cared about the wellbeing of all employees.

They expressed their gratitude to the staff for their continuing hard work and “commitment to deliver the government’s priorities”.

“We both deeply value the work that every person in this department does and care about the well-being of all our staff. It is therefore a time for us all to come together as one team,” they wrote.

“We also recognise the importance of candour, confidentiality and courtesy in building trust and confidence between ministers and civil servants.

“Both of us are fully committed to making sure the professionalism you would expect to support this is upheld.”

They added: “We both regret Sir Philip’s decision to resign. He had a long and dedicated career of public service for which we thank him.”

The email comes after the Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove announced on Monday that there was to be an inquiry into allegations Patel had broken the ministerial code.

Patel has denied any allegations of wrongdoing''

It's not the first time she's been accused of this sort of thing either. Or lied to save herself too. Remember her visit to Israel to meet a number of unsavoury types which she then told porkies about? Happily, she was caught en flagrante and had to resign. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it is a duck. Perish the thought she's told another one... Not credible Home Secretary material really is she?

Good ole Boris. Cheapening yet another ministerial position. Par for the course mind. He is incontrovertibly, indubitably, the cheapest PM since David Lloyd George over a century ago. Mind you, the Welsh one did at least have a few redeeming features.
